Shiny nails, glossy fingers and fabulous colours – this nail varnish has been spotted already on quite a few celebrities. Sales of Tom Ford’s Nail Lacquers have rocketed up and the secret is out that these are the hottest little bottles in town right now. To grab yours, run to the private blend counter in Selfridges and be prepared to spend £25 on a bottle of nail varnish.

Tom Ford is known in the fashion world as a legend, having collaborated with Estée Lauder and worked under the perilous label Gucci. After having launched his own skin-care and make-up line, it was no shock when this latest venture became a huge success.

Ford has worked his magic to create sexy nail varnish; he has created a sixteen-colour platter from neutrals to scarlet reds to dark, dark plum with suspicious undertones of edginess and metallic. I adore Scarlet Chinois. This luscious red nail varnish is so shiny and makes my nails feel 100% red-carpet-tastic. The beautiful African Violet that oozes purple is so deep in colour; check out also Naked and Mink Brulee for nude shades.

The bottle even looks the fashion business with a high quality finished, trimmed and golden, embracing Tom Ford’s traditional black, which makes it a pleasure to have on your dressing table.

Finally, Tom Ford stated on his range; “Perfectly lacquered nails complete a look, whether you have one signature look or love to transform yourself with colour”, who can argue with this genius that makes us feel so glamorous?
